I’m definitely not a fan of the twangy stuff. I’m very selective when listening to any country. As soon as I hear the “twang”, I’m out. Lol

I get what you're saying. I think people just tend to mellow out with age, though. Having a family really changes a person, too. You spend way less time dwelling on the things you are displeased with and much more time focusing on the things you love and appreciate. I know the older I get, the more secluded and involved I want to be with the people around me, and that causes me write with more maturity and personal emotion...and an acoustic guitar conveys that message more effectively. I would have to guess that would be Aaron's reason too. I know he initially writes his songs on an acoustic guitar...so it just makes sense he would keep in rolling in that form.

Great band! Glad to see some new material.

This is pretty damn good! Thanks @lukejaggers!

You should try crack! I hear it’s good for inspiration! 😂

Totally agree with you on Trash Boat. It was my #1 AOTY. Perfect in every way! Lyrically, could not have been any better!!!

Awesome single! Cool artwork, too! Thanks!

I think it’s a great song! So they sound a little more “post-hardcore” than “metalcore” in this one, who cares! The bridge (breakdown) wasn’t as “in your face” as maybe we’re used to, and the mix, to me, seemed like it needed a little more treble at times, but I think it’s a great addition to their catalogue. And for people who say they (and their riffs) are starting to sound the same, so what! Every band should have their own signature sound that identifies who they are. A Day To Remember had virtually the same exact breakdown (with the exception of the timing) in every song, and no one ever complained. I think people overanalyze too much. Just listen and enjoy!

“Cinematics” was really good, but everything after has been a huge disappointment (to me).

So awesome to see them releasing a new album! Mike Kinsella is definitely one of a kind! Thanks!

Trash Boat will most likely get my vote for AOTY!

I’m with ya, with the extreme metal stuff.

The only thing getting older has done to me is; given me a more vast appreciation for music, and has allowed me to be more open to some genres I might not have even given a chance when I was younger. While I’m partial, these days, to artists like; The Menzingers, Manchester Orchestra, Brian Fallon and Owen, I still really dig heavier bands such as; Polaris, August Burns Red and In Hearts Wake (to name a few), and everything in between.

My wife usually gives me shit when I drag her to concerts bc she feels we’re some of the oldest people there (with the exception of a Menzingers show), but I alway say; “Fuck it! Music has no age.” Btw, I’m exactly double your age, in case you were curious.
